Monday morning 27 August 2007, I was doing my pushups when I felt a little twinge just above my left eyebrow. I was immediately overwhelmed with a stabbing pain in my head and nausea. The shower didn't get rid of it. I called off (and I simply don't call off from my new job - I like and respect these people too much) and made couch until my doctor's appointment.
Ever since, I've been confused and/or dizzy on and off. Any physical exertion above walking at grampa's pace reignites the stabbing headache (which makes me think there's some neuro-vascular connection). Occasionally (like right now) I see the haloes or spots that precede a migraine.
My primary physician isn't a head or nerve specialist, so she redirected me to a neurologist. The earliest any neurologist in my network can visit with me is September 12, so I have a good ten days to remain in this state without any answers. The suckery is beginning to mount, but there isn't a whole hell of a lot we can do about it. Eventually, we'll find workable threshholds of activity and try to stick to them - for now we walk blindly forward until we hit a wall, then stop.
